39 @ A new release of the UCI version of the Rand Message Handling (MH)
40 system is available for distribution. This release of MH is called
44 There are a lot of changes between MH.6 and MH 6.6; a lot of
45 performance enhancements were made, there's also a lot of support
46 for distributed mail (personal mail and bulletin bboards).
50 - MH is in the public-domain
51 - MH runs on a number of versions of UNIX (4.[123]BSD, V7, SYS5, and
52 related variants, e.g., HPUX) [sorry, no support for SYS3.]
53 - MH runs on top of a number of mail transport systems
54 (MMDF-{I,II}, SendMail, stand-alone (with UUCP support))
56 Although MH is not "supported" per se, it does have a bug-reporting
57 address, Bug-MH@@ICS.UCI.EDU (ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh). Bug reports
58 (and fixes) are welcome, by the way. There are also two Internet
59 discussion groups: MH-Users@@ICS.UCI.EDU and MH-Workers@@ICS.UCI.EDU.
60 MH-Users is bi-directionally gatewayed to USENET as comp.mail.mh.
62 There are two ways to get a distribution:
64 1. If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet, use anonymous FTP to
65 ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1] and retrieve the file pub/mh-6.6.tar.Z.
66 This is a tar image after being run through the compress program
67 (approx 1.5MB). This file is also available on louie.udel.edu
68 [128.175.1.3] in portal/mh-6.tar.Z. You may also find MH.6.6 on
69 various other hosts; to make sure you get the latest version and
70 don't waste your time re-fixing bugs, it's best to get it from
71 either ics.uci.edu or louie.udel.edu.
73 2. You can send $75 US to the address below. This covers the cost
74 of a magtape, handling, and shipping. In addition, you'll get a
75 laser-printed hard-copy of the entire MH documentation set. Be
76 sure to include your USPS address with your check. Checks should
79 Regents of the University of California
81 and must be drawn on U.S. funds. The distribution address is:
83 Computing Support Group
85 Department of Information and Computer Science
86 University of California, Irvine
91 Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documentation, you
92 still have to pay the $75.00. The tar image has the documentation
93 source (the manual is in roff format, but the rest are in TeX
94 format). I'm working on getting Postscript versions of the documents.
113 @*** empty log message ***
128 (This is a maintenance release of MH 6.5.)
131 address, Bug-MH@@ICS.UCI.EDU. Bug reports (and fixes) are welcome, by
132 the way. There are also two ARPA Internet discussion groups:
133 MH-Users@@ICS.UCI.EDU and MH-Workers@@ICS.UCI.EDU (somewhat analogous in
134 charter to Info-UNIX and UNIX-Wizards).
137 louie.udel.edu [10.0.0.96] and retrieve the file portal/mh-6.tar.
138 This is a tar image (approx 4MB). The file portal/mh-6.tar.C is
139 the tar image after being run through the compact program (approx
140 2.3MB). The file portal/mh-6.tar.Z is the tar image after being run
141 through the compress program (approx 1.5MB).
144 2. You can send $75 to the address below. This covers the cost of
145 a magtape, handling, and shipping. In addition, you'll get a
146 laser-printed hard-copy of the entire MH documentation set. Be sure
147 to include your USPS address with your check. Checks should be made
151 and must be drawn on U.S. funds. It's also a good idea (though not
152 mandatory) to send a computer mail message to "Bug-MH@@ICS.UCI.EDU" when
153 you send your check via USPS to ensure minimal turn-around time.
